Verdict

Al Freej is only a pound higher than when winning at Wolverhampton last month while Talent Scout has won eight times including twice over a mile here, though is still 10lb higher than for his last success. The three-year-old SKYTRAIN was beaten in his hat-trick bid at Beverley but raced a little too freely behind the leaders. He eventually lost third place to Dubai Dynamo but, if settling better here, can get reverse the form and get back on track. Green Park was only beaten a neck at Thirsk last week and a repeat effort should the see the 10-year-old in the firing-line again.
